Outfit Post: Jail Bird

Black and white stripes usually conjure images of old prison clothes or referees. It’s inevitable. It’s also pretty funny since people in prison break the rules and referees force you to follow them… but I digress.

But those preconceived notions have been thrown to the wind this season and black and white stripes are everywhere (I particularly love the black and white {vertical} stripe pants look). And since I can’t resist a silky blouse, this shirt was the perfect opportunity for me to jump on the trend bandwagon without going too far outside of my typical look.

You know me, I’m just mixing and matching with my go-to look: skinny jeans/pants + silky blouse + heels, blazer optional.

How do you all feel about the black and white stripe trend? Too much referee for you or are you willing it give it a go?

Outfit Post: School Colors

Whenever I see blue and green together, I can’t help but think of my high school colors. But it’s hard to think of high school days spent in Miami with legs this pale. But since it is finally March (my birthday month!), I had to share a little bit of green to get ready for the big day (and my birthday – sorry, I’m really annoying about my birthday) March 17th St. Patty’s Day!

I took these pictures before our little vacation and man oh man, was I ever in need of a tan. Yikes a million. That’s why only one picture of those pale stems makes an appearance in this post.

So shield your eyes and focus on the detail of this print shirt that is from – get ready for a shock – Old Navy. I’m usually not a big fan of wearing a lot of green but with the mix of blue and white dots, it’s softens it up a little. I usually wear this shirt with jeans (like I did here) or with blue trousers for work but I love how it makes this gold skirt a little more casual.

And remember, I warned you about the paleness.

Outfit Post: Neon Sunset

Okay so I hope I didn’t oversell today’s post. Cause in terms of post goodness, it’s just a little happy.

And by little happy I mean pics of one of my vacation ‘fits taken on my iPhone by my husband who may or may not have been drinking a cocktail simultaneously.

I have a special place in my heart for neon lace. I attempted to DIY one last summer but couldn’t find the perfect skirt. Thankfully on a last minute stop at Forever 21 before this trip, I found this one. I’m planning on making it a spring/summer staple AND when neon lace skirts inevitably go out of style, I may just dye it black and keep it in rotation.

Outfit Post: Red & Blue Review

After checking out two of my favorite blogs Monday morning (Atlantic-Pacific & B-Soup), it appears I wasn’t the only one that had red & blue on the brain (although both of those gals styled it up a little more fab and less casual).

I threw this look together to spice up my normal jeans + t-shirt weekend uniform. Going with red on the bottom put a little spring in my step on Sunday morning and lately, whenever I put these on, I immediately grab something blue to go with them. I’m sure this outfit was inspired by something but I didn’t reach for a specific picture when getting ready so I can’t share an inspiration link today. More of that to come later this week.

p.s. – Thanks for all the awesome feedback on yesterday’s Week of Annie post. Would love to hear if you’d like to see more of that in the future.
